Brothers Reese Pr’out and Mark Pr’out combined for 36 points to power Dynamic Physical Therapy to a 51-40 win over newcomer Global Cargo Movers in Day 1 of the PAAD Palaro Basketball Tournament – Open Division at the Police Athletic League (PAL) Center in Hockessin, Delaware. The Pr’out brothers played in the PAAD Youth basketball tournament in 2009 where they honed up their skills for the Open Division.
Dynamic took advantage of the slow start of the Movers as Reese Pr’out immediately went to work. In the early going a lay-up by Reese Pr’out punctuated an 11-6 early lead by Dynamic with still 15 minutes to go in the first half. The Movers however, behind Carlos Miranda, settled in the game and traded baskets with Dynamic. With 5 minutes and 22 seconds remaining in the first half, Dynamic led by only 6 points, 20-14.
Sensing for a knock-out punch, Reese Pr’out converted a crucial three point shot to pad the lead to 23-14. A three point shot by Mike Sanchez and a lay-up by Ramon Agui helped further pad the lead of Dyamic to 32-18 with only one minute and 32 seconds remaining in the first half. Jeremy Syto of the Movers answered with a jump shot to cut the lead, to 32-20. Another lay-up by Agui however restored the commanding lead for Dynamic which ended 34-20 in the first half.
In the second half Mark Pr’out, with six points in a crucial stretch, teamed up with his brother Reese to preserve the lead for Dynamic, 42-29, with 14 minutes remaining in the game. Lyle Razon of the Movers took over the scoring chores as he virtually carried the Movers in the game. Anton Arellano of Dynamic, however, scored his only basket for the game, a follow up shot that padded the Dynamic Lead to 44-29, 13 minutes remaining. From this point on, the two teams traded baskets as Dynamic did not let up its guard on the game. To their credit, the Movers cut the lead to 11 at the final buzzer, 51-40.
It was a good start for playing coach Sanchez and his Dynamic charges as they try to win the PAAD Palaro for the first time. For team captain Jet Abellar and his wards, it was a fine display of heads up basketball which brings ray of hope for the Movers in their coming games.
